Known Issues

As we continue to push the boundaries of what a plugin controller can be, some bugs, quirks, and usability issues are bound to appear. That’s part of building something new. But we’re committed to fixing issues quickly, improving the experience, and delivering the best controller we can, for you and for the creative community we're building around Dialr.

Below you'll find a list of known issues, updated regularly, along with available workarounds or status updates.

Dialr

  • No plugins in cloud services. The Ableton Live user library cannot be located in a folder that syncs to Dropbox or similar cloud services.
